What happens if I go off route?

Tailwind shows when you leave the route and helps you back to it. Here is what the Off route and Finding route messages mean.

If you stray from the route, the screen shows Off route and Tailwind shows you the way back. Finding route means it is working that out.

This also applies at the start of a ride: if you are not on the route, Tailwind shows you the way to it.

If your position seems wrong, you may have a weak signal. See GPS and location problems.
